ONE LAST NUGGET Always double-check your bag from Wendy's, in case there's a surprise nuggie at the bottom. It didn't take long after starting my new job to find the nearest distributor of chocolate Frosties. I hit up this location in Garfield Ridge for lunch every other week and the experiences have been generally pleasant, even though once they forgot a straw and on a separate visit they gave me no sauce :( You're greeted with a quartet of self-order kiosks when you walk in, but you can still place an order with a human being. I like the counter area they have by the windows facing Archer Ave. No ketchup pumps, which makes me think their condiments are behind the counter under lock & key. I recently tried the ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich ($11 for a combo) and to their credit, it was pretty damn hot. Halfway through eating, I started seeing little horizontal lines which made me wonder if I was hallucinating or just needed new contacts. I made ample use of their Coke freestyle machine, regardless. Saucy nuggs are great, you can get them standalone or as part of a 10pc combo ($10)--I recommend the spicy honey bbq, garlic parm, and buffalo. The $5 Biggie Bag is still the best deal in town, a Jr bacon cheese with fries, 4pc nuggets and drink for a crazy low price. * TL;DR * This is a solid Wendy's with a clean dining room and quick drive-thru. I've tried to avoid going out to lunch more than once a week, and when I do, I usually only drop $5.54 (the exact cost of a Biggie Bag + tax). You can find some nice deals online, like a free 10pc nuggets when you sign up for Wendy's rewards, or $2 off a premium combo. Tip: trying to turn left onto Archer is tricky, and though you could get lucky with the flow of cars, you're much better off exiting onto Laramie and using the traffic signal. read more

I want to give the cashier Nestor some props for serving us this late at night 12:50am and having so much enthusiasm to serve food and smiles. He was very funny it made my night, not only for his service and the jokes he made to make me crack a smile but because of his customer service to serve. The food was also finger licking good. read more

First time coming here. I was on break and me and a few guys from work wanted to check this place out. It's an average size Wendy's. Staff was nice and courteous, the way they dish out food is really quick. Food was good, fries were a bit bland. They screwed up one of my coworkers orders but they were nice enough to fix that error for him. The place is somewhat uncleanly as in sticky tables, stuff on the floor and dirty garbage to name a few. I was dissapointment that there was barely any drinks available from the Machine. read more

This Wendy's is by far worst Wendy's i've been to. Worst service ever. I lost my wallet in there not too long ago and when I asked if they seen it they laughed in my face. Once I tried to speak with the manager they said he/she wasn't going to be in til Monday and to leave my number and time I was in so they can check on the camera whether it was stolen OR not. it's been a week and they haven't called. read more

Looks like someone stepped on my burger and y'all gave me the wrong drink. Also, you fry all spicy stuff in the same fryer so your fries taste like shit. Fuck this shitty overpriced food read more

Wendy's - Did y'all throw this burger against the wall? - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service is fast and the food is good. This location is one that remodeled its restaurant. It looked really great after it was done but I can already see that it's not being taken care of like the ones in the suburbs. It could be because there are people always sleeping in here, day or night. read more

Not only they got my order wrong but the manager some skinny Hispanic lady insisted I ordered something else . Plus she spoke really bad to an employee that was working at the register ! I noticed I'm not the first person to complain about her read more

I know it's fast food, but this locations meat is always dry and blend. Unless it's fried food like nuggets... just stay away from it.

This wendys is open 24/7. There shouldn't be any problems when ordering or any attitude towards the way an employee talks to a customer, regardless the size of the order. I went at 12AM and I ordered 40 nuggets and 4 spicy chicken combos and the lady gave us attitude saying if we wanted to order more we needed to drive around a order again (which is ridiculous in my opinion). We asked to talk to the manager in charge and the manager didn't seem to care about the situation and just left. Super disappointed. Bad service DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

We placed our order fine. After, we realized we hadn't ordered small fries. Asked for one at window, when the young lady rolled her eyes at my husband. She came and rudely handed him the bag of food with no receipt. I honked, Manager came a we asked for receipt. She shoved it in my husband's hand after asking window girl a question. Very unprofessional. I frequent this Wendy's quite a bit because my Mom enjoys it. I will return again however, if this continues, I will not return and tell our friends not to return to this particular Wendy's either. read more

Be very careful when using drive-up. Their speaker doesn't work right. The last four times they got the order wrong.

Went today and she said" sorry we can't sell food as our system is down" and then said "it's been happening all week" really wanted chili:) oh well! read more

Wendy's chili is fire son real tawk whenever im feeling that late night craving for some delicious chili i know just where to go.

Wendy's - Chili - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came to this Wedndys location because my vehicle is getting it's windows tinted, and had 2 hours to spare. By the way, they charged me $160 for tints. Excellent price! Oh, and it also has warranty for the life of the car . So I walk up this joint, thinking it was going to be closed since there was no cars parked outside. ( It was barely 10:09AM ) I pull the door, and it was actually open! I stand in line, for a good 6 minutes and according to the employee; she didn't see me standing in line. I know I'm skinny, but bruh...... that's why I've been hitting it hard at the Gym, to get gainzz lol. I started at 150, and now I'm at 172 Anyway, cashier apologized or whatever and she took my order. As I'm getting ready to pay with my debit card, I noticed that the machine where you swipe your debit/credit cards were all twisted facing the employees & away from the customers. I twisted it towards me, and it had a post it note saying "No Sirve" . In English, meaning that "it doesn't work" . I was told by the cashier that it wasn't working, and I had to pay with dough. So I did! No problem at all. Moral of the story, I just wanted my #6 meal with bacon and a vanilla Coke. Cashier hands me over my receipt, and my empty cup to pour myself the Coke I've been craving. I walk into the first machine, and it was out of ice....... Ummmm okay, let me move to the next one. The second machine had ice, but no drinks available. The Coke machine was updating or whatever. I'm like, it's all Gucci mayne, I can just move to the first and pour myself some coke. I move to the first, and the Coke had legit no carbonation. The cashier seen me hustling trying to make it work, and said " your burger will be up in a few minutes home boiiii " ummmm, I just met you a few minutes ago. I guess I can now say, that we go way back with the cashier lol. At the end, i just settled with a lemonade. Anyway, i have my food and was looking for a table to sit down. Bruh, let me tell you. . . More than half of the tables weren't even clean. I made no big deal out of it, I just cleaned my own table and ate my meal. Fries were stale, and had a lot of salt just how I like them. I didn't even have to use an extra salt package this time. Low key though, they had a fun morning crew working. They were having fun, making the Kitchen work and stuff. Kinda made me wanna drop a job application and walk out lol Soooooooooo yeah, Wendy's fix your Coke machines; and do a better job cleaning the tables. read more

The night time manager was so rude she didnt care about my concerns. She Is a Hispanic woman. She said oh okay.

This is the best Wendy's I've ever been in. It is extremely clean and well kept up. The young man that waited on me was extremely polite and kind. My fresh made double burger was excellent. Thank you for my senior drink and for letting me stay there while I was waiting for a flight. read more

Would give O stars if possible!! Extremely rude, always close early and that is their excuse for not having the majority of the menu items available. They do not want to be bothered to "work" after 10 pm. Waste of time to even go here and receive a horrible attitude from both manager and employees. read more

Licia has a horrible attitude with her employees and customers. She doesn't take responsibility for petty mistakes and looks really immature for getting agitated with customers over routine things. She really shouldn't be there if she can't deal with even the most passive people like myself. I ate here one night and the manager's angry attitude spoiled my experience. I love Wendy's, but I'll be avoiding this location. read more

i wish i can give one star went 2 days in a row one day they were allowed to put cream in your coffee instead of the on side the next day they are not allowed to told me covid ok where is your mask then if your worried about putting cream in the coffee and preparing food, handing food & touching money and no gloves if you really wanna go the extra mile - just makes no sense and remind u the i was the only one there not like they are crowded- read more

I asked for a receipt twice and never got one. My price on the screen was 10.48 and somehow was charged $11.48. I know it's just a dollar but I did ask for a receipt so I can understand my purchase but I was ignored. Twice. I ordered a number 4 as a large meal and got a large container with the amount of fries you'd find in an extra small order. Same with my extra order of fries. Both fries combined made a medium order. Definitely telling my friends about the poor service at this location. And my fries were given to me cold. Wish I would've had a chance to say something but we were rushed to leave by the manager. Yea I'm telling all my friends to not come here read more

ordered my food and paid through the app, drove 15 minutes to pick it up just to get there and wait another 10 minutes with no reply at the speaker. after saying hello? a million times and being ignored, i drove to the window and the lady with the headset looked at me super annoyed clearly because i didn't just drive off and told me they were closed even though they're suppose to close at 2am and it was only 12:30. I understand if you are short staffed and have to close early but if she didn't want to interact with me she could've told me that information while i sat in my car waiting patiently for someone to assist me. VERY rude of her. i've worked in the service industry and there's also NO reason why their mobile orders should be turned on when theyre closed. VERY inconsiderate towards others time read more

This place is a joke I placed an online order 10 minutes before arriving food not ready had to wait over 20 more minutes once I got the food it wasn't even what I order. Food was not good burgers were drenched in mayo food was cold and not eatable read more

The manager has such a bitchy attitude. They kept making us go back to order like we can't order again in the window?And the guy next to her lied to us he said he just clocked in when HE took our order. read more

Place isn't kept up with. Floors are always sticky or slippery. The door and the ground on the east side is gross. I use my sleeve to open the door. You also almost get hit by people leaving the drive-thru by that same door. The outside needs a good power washing. read more

Apart from being slow this place will always try to give you whatever you order in the most plain way possible ( no napkins, no ketchup, sometimes I even have to ask for A STRAW ) the food is not bad but it doesn't make up for the bad service. read more

Review for drive thru only. The customer service of this location has gone down since it has reopened. Especially the evening crew. Attitudes and always incorrect food made. CHECK YOUR ORDER BEFORE YOU PULL OUT FROM DRIVE THRU. read more

BEST Wendy's ever! This place is PACKED, bumper to bumper at lunch and after ten pm. I don't blame them for the lack of space on the street. The Chase Bank next door and the idiots from the governmental office across the street is what jacks traffic up so bad. This location has never messed up my orders (sometimes very large orders with a lot of "hold the"'s, "extra"'s and "on the side"'s lol). Looks like some food industry workers CAN read! Yay!!! read more

Waited so long for such a simple order. Customers that ordered after me received their food before me and i had to ask what was taking so long and it was just a simple oh sorry. When the cashier asked the staff in the back there was no answer given. The rest of my food was cold waiting for one specific item in my order. There needs to be a better system in place with their employees. Dont think i will be returning here! read more

Terrible night crew. Lady wouldn't allow me to add to my order at window although it was simple things I missed. Had terrible attitude and everything. Hours for business is wrong as well read more

Easily the worst location. Every time I order from this location they get my order wrong. Not a single time do they get it right. My guess is they're too lazy to make it and give me the wrong order. It's not like I order something super customized, I literally order right off the menu. Do better... read more

In the past, I would've given them a 5 because they were super fast and ever since they remodeled and changed the staff, it sucks! They are super slow! The place looks nice, but they need to go back to the staff they had in the past! To top it off, the new staff has a real attitude problem. Don't patronize a business that doesn't appreciate your business. read more

Well i love this Wendy's very much super clean and friendly and fast service but the manager was completely the opposite super rude i asked for napkins and he said i should of told him over the intercom so he would of thrown them in the bags i would expect napkins if im ordering food whit out asking not just that he could of just gave them to me whit out the attitude im very disappointed whit his customer skills and service by the way he works night shift so ask for napkins over the intercom just a heads up. read more

Managed Poorly. Dirty entrance door glass, dirty tables, dirty soda machines, dirty floors, poor customer service and unprofessional. This property is not managed responsibly. read more

Has to be the slowest moving drive thru ever. No matter what time you go here there is always a line. It's Wendy's so the food is what it is, but this Wendy's food is just not fresh. There are other Wendy's within a short 10 minute drive, and believe me if you like Wendy's stay away from this location because you won't want to eat Wendy's food for a long time after this place. read more

This place should just be bulldozed. It's sad what a struggle it is for them to make a correct order. Either they don't care or they are really just that unintelligent. They give you basically the complete opposite of what you order and a headache to go along with it. Who would've thought making a chicken sandwich could be so difficult for someone who works at a chicken sandwich place. Save yourself the irritation and stay farrrrrrr away from this location. read more
